Cost of Federal Government's Benefits Expansion to Same-Sex Couples Unknown, Sources Say

As multiple federal government entities look towards expanding their benefits programs to include same-sex spouses, estimates as to the cost of such expansions have not been calculated.

According to multiple sources The Christian Post has queried, no estimates exist for how much expanding federal government and military benefits to same-sex spouses will cost financially. This is the case even though certain benchmarks for implementation of the new policies for benefits have come and gone...........

Okay then.

 

[JGlass]

Yeah, that's why there were some people against giving gay people the right to marry: the fiscal burden it would put on the country.

Not sure if SixMovesOfDoom works for The Christian Post

Or is just enamored with it

I think he's trying to do SEO and hasn't yet realized that his technique stopped working 18 months ago.

1. pointless. Its unknown? Ok, cool story bro

2. So what. Equality and human rights dont get approved or disapproved for how much they may or may not fucking cost. Dont be a fool.

3. its like, 1% of 1% of the population(2% of the population is gay, 1% of the population is in the military. Much less than 100% of gays in the military will be married). So uhhhhh, so fuckin what. Negligble amount.

Seems like it's just time to remove government benefits to everyone then.

An article from the Christian Post on same sex couples. I'm sure that in no way can be biased or agenda serving.

Fucking liberal media. Too lazy to do their own work and find an answer so all they do is try to excite their base by fear mongering so that the base forces the government in to using MY TAX DOLLARS!!! to perform some inefficient, ineffective study on a topic that is so miniscule in cost it doesn't justify a study in the first place. George Soros and Sean Penn must be behind this.

Thanks SixMoves, you're right The Christian Post should suck my dick (although they'd probably try to tax me for it) and I should bring this wasteful spending to The TEA Party's attention. You're more Real American than Hulk Hogan.

Snark aside, that would be an equitable way to resolve it. Marriage is a state matter, not a federal one. If all married couples get federal benefits, it's equal protection. If no married couples get federal benefits, that is also equal protection.

The cost of my bar tab later is unknown too. Can The Christian Post write an article about that too?

It was not just intended as snark. I'd have no problem with my proposal.
